Default Oil on #1 spark plug.

I just did a cam swap and oil is getting onto number 1 spark plug tip. I put new seals and figured maybe I messed one up and replaced the two for cylinder one again with new ones. The two I pulled out looked fine. There was some oil in the cylinder, so I drove for about 15 miles to try and burn it out. This was last night, It looked a little less so I’ll drive some more today. It only smokes after warm and during idle. Any ideas on what it could be?
vids before I replace the seals again on number 1 cylinder.

Any oil in your cylinder will burn off in a matter of seconds and clear out of your exhaust after a few minutes. It’ll continue to smoke as long as oil continues to get into the cylinders.

Have you gotten a retune? If not, it could be a fueling issue and not oil. It can be pretty hard to tell sometimes when looking at your exhaust.

Is the oil consumption limited to one cylinder?

have you checked your valve springs for any clearance issues with the valve stems?

are you getting any oil in your intake?

are you running the stock PCV system?

Yes, just one cylinder and oil in the intake I think I might have figured out the issue. I'll report back once I have confirmed.
Thanks for the help.
